The Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern (TSGN) rail franchise includes an obligation to introduce carnet-based season tickets on smartcards by 30 September 2015. The Essex Thameside franchise includes a similar obligation to introduce flexible season tickets and carnets.

Conclusions around price, flexibility, the impacts on operator revenue and other ticket prices will be central to any decisions on wider roll-out.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 28/10/2014 15:51:31 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
